Rep. Louie Gohmert – a relentless critic of the Obama administration – is now blaming the president for inciting racial violence to a level not seen since the 1960s.

Shortly after Attorney General Eric Holder spoke Monday about reforming the justice system, Gohmert told conservative pundit Steve Malzberg that at least one part of Holder’s speech was true: the drop in violent crime. But the Tyler Republican said the drop in crime was the result of no help from Obama.

“They’re constantly screaming about all the hate violence and all this kind of stuff, and of course we know that this president, this administration has done more to stir up racial tension and violence than any administration since, you know, the 60s,” Gohmert said.

“I thought we were going to have a post-racial president,” Gohmert said. “But he’s become the president of division, of envy, of jealousy.”

Gohmet’s tangential comments came in response to a question about Holder’s drug sentencing reforms.

Holder’s “Smart on Crime” plan is meant to reduce the strain on federal prisons by imposing fewer mandatory minimum sentences for low-level and non-violent drug offenders.

It’s part on an attempt to eliminate “excessive prison terms more appropriate for violent criminals or drug kingpins,” he said.
